CHAPTER 7: Giant Fuck You Laser. Part 1

A MacHumvee stops in a checkpoint surrounded by sandbags, trenches and a command post in the middle of the jungle. Then the doors open and three characters step out of the vehicle (an avian alien and two humans).

Leo: "this is very far from the palace; I thought we'd protect it" –looking around the place, letting it sink in-

Lieutenant Hahner: "the palace will be better protected by setting these checkpoints active; that way, the forces at the palace can be warned in time from any threads"

Skyla Baeb: "Yes, Crewman. What are you, stupid?"

Hahner: "Have this flare gun, Crewman; if there's trouble, you should get reinforcements from the nearby checkpoints in no time" –hands it to him- "Now, you two will be in charge of this post for the time being. You are a team now, and your greatest strength is your vehicle; in it, you operate as a single unit; Crewman and Gunner. Make yourselves at home, get used to the layout of the area you'll protect; I will be over here calling for a transport back to the palace" –walks away-

Tommy Gun: -suddenly breaks the silent- "anyway, how's your sex life?"

Skyla: "EXCUSE ME?" –slaps Leo across the face very hard-

Leo: "W..what? It was the gun! The gun said that; I swear to god" –shaking in fear while holding his hands before him in a defensive, yet submissive position-

Skyla: "Sure! I think I'll have to establish right here and now who the bitch here is" –walks menacingly towards him- (that's what would happen if Leo had chosen the Tommy Wiseau Gun) –but is suddenly distracted by something-

Leo: "wha..?"

Skyla: "Hey, look at that! It's so cute" –approaches it a little bit-

Leo: "that creature; it looks a lot like the avians. If I was any stupider, I'd say they were the same species"

Hahner: "Oh hey! Yeah, they are in fact very closely related to us; but they're just mindless animals. We call them monkeys" –having walked again up to the humans-

Leo: "Those aren't monkeys; that's more like a cassowary or a turkey... a big one"

Skyla: "there are more coming! Look! They are everywhere now"

Leo: -is attacked and bitten by the first one they saw- "OUCH!"

Hahner: -fires his shotgun to the air- "CHU!" –watches as they all run away- "don't worry; I don't think they'll be coming back, and if they do you know just what to do. Ach! Bird, where is my damn transport? –looks impatient at the road-

Skyla: "Uh.. guys? These "monkeys" are still lurking around"

Hahner: "Just fire a gun if they get closer" –lights up a cigar-

Skyla: "No! Something else is going on! Something weird... check that out"

Leo: "y..you're just trying to scare me" –noticeably scared-

Skyla: "No! I'm serious. Their feathers are turning black ...and their eyes are starting to irradiate a shiny white light; THAT LIGHT IS ALSO COMING FROM THIR MOUTHS!" –notices as some of them threateningly chirp very loud-

Leo: "Oh shit! You're right! WHAT IS GOING ON?"

Hahner: "Schnell! Get to the MacHumvee! NOW!"

They get in and get going fast. Skyla Baeb attaches her machine gun to the vehicle and does what she can to keep the creatures off it, while Lieutenant Hahner fires his shotgun from the back hatch and Leo drives as fast as he can.

Hahner: "Let's go to the palace, and fire a flare from the window if you can Leo. This is an emergency situation"

Leo: -fires the flare from the driver's window- "Is this the avian rebellion?"

Hahner: "NO! Notice how when we destabilize their physical bodies, they break into white magic. This is a large scale magic attack; it's too much for us; we need to try and contain them in the palace"

They keep fleeing and fighting their way back to the palace, but are greeted by another surprise; they start being attacked and chased by shiny silver ships that operate like attack helicopters.
